- Airports: porters may charge as much as $1 per bag
- Taxis: Tipping is not expected, yet many people choose to round up the fare. Drivers in some cities charge for help with baggage
- Hotels: a $1 tip is a sufficient for chambermaids and bellboys
- Restaurants: a 10% gratuity will often be included in the bill
- Sales Taxes: advertised prices on store windows and bills will always include sales taxes, and that will often not be listed in the bill
(prices in Brazilian Real currency - check here currency information)
Prices:
The (Almost) Universal Big Mac Index is a good measure of the differences of the prices of US and EU in relation to Brazil.
- Britain: US$ 3.19
- US: US$ 2.65
- Brazil: US$ 1.38
